Results

Measured against the index acceptance specification for the neuroactive and cognitive peptides class. A specification is a decision the index made; a result is a measurement. See where each threshold came from.

Chromatogram and peak integration

The figure is drawn from the table. It is not an independent illustration — if a number in the table changed, the trace would change with it.

Figure 1. RP-HPLC trace, 35 min gradient, 214 nm. Drawn from the peak-integration table below: peak positions are the reported retention times, peak areas are the reported area percentages, peak widths follow the reported plate count of 54,952, and skew follows the reported asymmetry factor of 0.94. Baseline noise is seeded from the report ID and is illustrative. The lower panel is the same trace at a stated vertical expansion with the slow gradient drift subtracted, because at full scale a 0.41 % impurity against a 98.88 % main peak is a line two pixels tall; the main peak runs off-scale there by design.

Reporting threshold 0.05 % area. Peaks below it are not reported and are therefore excluded from the total, which overstates purity by their sum — see peak integration.

Section 4

Gravimetric mass balance

Water, counter-ion, residual and total peptide content are exhaustive and mutually exclusive categories. They must account for 100 % of the cake mass. The index closes this to within 0.02 pp and the build asserts it.

Provenance and caveats

Where a sample came from changes the weight of the evidence. The index treats it as a first-class field.

Annotations 3

Signed technical comments from index contributors. Not a discussion forum — annotations question or contextualise the result, and the data team replies where a reply is warranted.

thin_coverage
Coverage on this compound is thin enough that one record moves the class median visibly. That is a statement about the index rather than about the material, and it is why the n= badge sits beside every aggregate.
kf_titrand
Water at 9.37 % is the largest non-peptide slot on most records and the one most often missing. Where it is present the balance can be closed; where it is not, nothing can.
ms_confirm
Two instruments or it is not confirmed. Zero instruments is a different conversation, and this record is that conversation.
